Mantaray80 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hi. I don't post on here too often, but be assured, I'm a true Manta fan, having had mine for well over 20 years. Anuway, I'm going to be fitting a V6 out of my old Calibra into it, but have struck a small problem. Whilst unravelling the huge mess that is the wiring, I have got most of it free, but there is one part of the loom that disappears into the centre of the bulkhead and then fans out to every which way inside the car...mostly tho to the fuze box. There is no connector handy here, on either side, so it has to all come out, somehow. Has anyone faced this same problem, if so, how did you get around it? Is all this wiring even neccessary? I've already dumped a load of superfluous under-bonnet wiring... This is what I'm looking at...It's the loom in the middle of the pic, you can see the exposed wires at the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantaray Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 If its anything like the vectra, then the engine is on its own loom, there should be a plug connecting it to the car loom, and all you need is to connect 5 wires (i think) to it from your mantra loom. If you let me know your ecu model and engine code, I can cheack my files any may have all the wireing diagrams for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantaray80 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'll look next time I'm out there. The loom on the engine is as you say, connected by a big rounf plug, But that goes to another loom which is the one in the photo. Part of this goes to the ECU, and elsewhere (fuze box etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
